Abstract
Galactomannan, a nontoxic compound that exhibits in experiments with intact rats a slight hypocholesterinemic and hypoglycemic activity, was isolated from the coating of Gleditsia macracantha seeds. It prevents significantly the development of experimental hyperglycemia and diabetes when administered simultaneously with alloxan.
